Don't I know it. Evening and night scenes are some of the worst to do.
That is always a challenge, lighting is fucking hard.I can't find the correct lighting
The plane thing, what you can do is add a primitive, place it where you need more light, add emissives to it, then you can either set the cutout opacity to like .1 so it is almost invisible but still gives off light, and/or parent it to the camera so it lights the area around the camera, but not in a spotlight way like the headlamp. You could hide one inside to the left there, and warm it up, so it seems like another candle or something.
Another option is to make it brighter than you want, and darken it in photoshop. I hear this is quite common.
To help with the grain, if you don't want to use a denoiser, you can render it larger than you want, and then reduce the size after, which will hide some of it.

And you decided to do a vampire game ?! Are you a masochist ?
No Neimad, this game is about VI-kings not VAM-pires. I understand it's both with a V but the first ones have horns on the helmets, the second ones have very long teeth. It's not the same.And you decided to do a vampire game ?! Are you a masochist ?
P.S.:
Also the second letter of the word is different.

Hum, TheDevian is making a vampire game, you should have checked who I was talking to
LOL! That's what you get for posting without coffee...Hum, TheDevian is making a vampire game, you should have checked who I was talking to
Up side, is that the player has night vision, so that helps. XDAnd you decided to do a vampire game ?! Are you a masochist ?
But I did have a bit of a streak when I was younger, mostly over it now. lol
Night vision is a good workaround. I cheat by having the "night scene" during summer, so under this latitude, there's what we call the midnight sun and the night just turns into a perpetual sunset ^^

That must look really cool, do you have pictures of that from your trip by any chance ?
Nope, I went there in November (the flight was cheap), so it was the opposite. The "day" lasted only from 11am to 3pm \o/
Here, have a late sunrise instead (Iceland, by the way)

Actually thats a good idea and could help when deciding paths and choices.

I agree, same when I use a walkthrough I am not always looking per se for the best or optimal choice, but for what a choice means within the context of the game. Especially when illogical or noticeable outcome of choices tend to be a long way off.
The natives have fetishes too and I guess they aren't into whatever it is she was gonna do, so they peaced. Does that count as Femdom?Freydis : Back off or I cut my boob !
Natives : Eww ! I don't want to see that !
I am not a fan of the +1 type stuff popping up when it comes to this game.
I understand it for something way more simplistic, or the opposite, something way more complex, where there are 30 stats to keep track of.
Now sure in a walkthrough you can have it or have "if you said option A in chapter 13, then you are here, but if you said option D then scroll 20 pages to (balls busted) section."
Which I do hope you have yourself a walkthrough being made for how complex this may get.
I just think people will try and directly follow the +1 paths rather than treading their own way and then a lot of the content may never get seen.

I thought all the Freydis fanboy/fangirl stuff in this thread was a bit much, but having now finally given the game a shot: I totally get it.
I'm really digging what's there so far. The humor and general atmosphere reminds me of old school adventure games - specifically the King's Quest series, which is the highest of compliments.
I am curious how things are going to proceed story-wise. There's already two different pretty fundamental branching points, resulting in four very different situations for the MC. Obviously there's nothing remotely wrong with replayability, but maintaining too many parallel narratives can be a lot of work for the dev and shorten the length of each path. Something like Fate of Irnia kinda exemplifies this: it's a great and ambitious game, but it has a hell of a lot of options available and any one path can be blitzed through in minutes. In my opinion the endings to that game feel a little easy and undeserved as a result.
Anyway, I only bother to write this because the game's excellent and I'm excited to see where it goes. And excited to see some more Brynhild.

Don't talk to me about native fetishes. They're not like us...

Well, if I do it, it won't just be a "Gudrid love +1" type of thing, but more like "Character likes it" or "Character does not like it" just to steer you toward the right direction.
Well, that would be the wrong thing to do since love/like points aren't really relevant in the gameplay, I mainly use them as reference points for when I write the script. I don't want someone down the line to miss a scene because they have only 13 love points when it requires 14.

Besides we will always have save editor to correct things like that if needed.
Thank you for your kind words
Regarding the branching paths, while there are really two different paths right now, they will merge by the start of chapter 2 to be more or less one main story with lots of little events, and these events will depend on what path you chose. E.g. did you board Freydis' ship? Then that means you'll have to introduce yourself to Gudrid and her crew, because they don't know you. Did you follow the warrior path and thus never saw Brynnie under the helmet? Well, maybe warriors will have other chances to meet her. Etc. For now, I don't want to close any path and the story needs to be "organic". Of course, as you progress, these paths won't stay open for ever.
If you've seen the quality of my code, you'll understand that save editors will only make it crash \o/Besides we will always have save editor to correct things like that if needed.
Seriously, this is awful D:

Hahaha, your code is better then as you think, i always tend to do one cheating run if like a game, if do not like it might just do a cheating run
Stat points are rarely a problem, changing flags though will normally crash a game, unless you as a player are sure you can have both routes open at same time, but any bugs are your own fault if cheat.
